A True Reformer.

The Massachusetts, Civil-Service Re-

ing in Boston. President Darwin L.
Ward delivered an address in which he
said, after referring to the old system
of filling all offices:
The evils OF this condition of affairs have
been greatly mitgated by the action of Presi-
dent Cleveland during his Administration.
He has not merely provided faithful board
OF commiss oners for the execution OF the
law enacted by Congress, but, animated by
the spirit of that law he has strlven to main.

held, ought not to bo proscrioed for the eNer.

obviously just, ana yet they are opposed to

The Fisheries Question.

The President has taken the right
step concerning the outrages inflicted
upon our fishermen by the Canadian
Government by informing the British
Government that it will assuredly be
held responsible for all damages and
be held to reparation not merely by
the summary seizure of their vessels
and the exaction of heavy fines in ad-
vance of hearing and judgment.
but for the curtailment of
privileges to which they were
justly entitled under commercial
regulations. The published corre-
spoud as conducted by Secre-
tary Bayard is statesmanlike and
dignitied, and the Secretary talks
quite as plainly as is the custom in
diplomatic notes. The correspondence
will inquest onably create a very ia
vorable impression AMI remove any
feeling of dissatisfaction with sup
posed inaction. 1t now remains for
Congress to adopt the recommends
tons of the President. AMI then for the
United States to see to it that full rep
ara.ion is made for AL the losses and
damage which the American fishermen
have suffered Mt the hands of the Cana
dian authorities. Christian at Work.

Shows an Increase.

The second annual report of the
treasury under Democratic manage
ment is before the country, and it
shows that the net receipts for the last
fiscal year were 1886, 4S9, 900. and the net
expenditures $242. 4S3. 0O0-the receipts
having been S12, 749, 900 greater, and
the expenditures Sl7. 743. 600 less than
for the preceding year. There was q
decrease of $l,90),0 900 in the civil ex-
penses; $780, 900 in the cost of foreign
intercourse; $4,000 in the cost of the
Indian service, and similar reductions
in the War and Navy Departments, in
the expenses of the District Of Columbia
and in the miscellaneous expendi-
lures. There is only one item that
shows m increase, and that Is PEN
sions to Union soldiers. These have
increased from $56, l02, 900 last year,
to S63, 404,0 1t seems then that,
while Union veterans and widows are
actually better taken care of under u
Democratic than under Republican
Administration, the finances of the
Government have been placed in q
thrifticr condition than they ever were
beforc--an increased income, dimin-
ished expenditures and large surplus.
The downfall of the Republican party
did not mark the doom Of the country.
1t was pretty rough on the Republican
party, but the country not only sur
wives it, but actually thrives under il
--Sl. Louis Republican.
